How do you want to sojourn to meet your maker? In a regular coffin at a solemn ceremony or in a fantasy coffin made to suit your after-life taste?
Here are 7 times Nigerians and Ghanaians were buried in style.

We’ve said that Ghanaians and Nigerians aren’t that different. Also, we all know that the biggest bone of contention is jollof rice. It’s been historically proven that this delicacy neither originated in Ghana nor Nigeria, but not everyone agrees with or are even aware of it.
Two female students of Nigerian and Ghanian origin studying at the College of South West London, UK were suspended indefinitely for fighting over this matter.
Lateefah Oyedepo was cooking her jollof rice the Nigerian way when Tracy Osei Assibey told her that she was going about it all wrong by using fat grain rice, instead of long grain rice.
Lateefah then retorted that the Nigerian way was the right way and that the classic recipe was of Nigerian origin. She also said that Ghanaian jollof tastes disgusting! It quickly escalated from there.
This wasn’t just a simple fight, fists were involved. The fight started in the kitchen of their fifth floor apartment and moved to the streets. It went on for about two-and-half hours, until further catastrophe was prevented by one of the college’s lecturers who is Sierra Leonean.
The ladies basically went at each other over something they know nothing about. This situation perfectly shows that ignorance isn’t bliss!

*This is a parody!
There is almost always an unending rivalry between these two great countries on social media, but truthfully Nigeria and Ghana share a lot of similarities and bonds. Let us explain to you..
1. Neither of them invented Jollof rice
This may bruise some egos, but the truth is Jollof actually originated from the Yolof tribe in the Gambia area. *avoids talking about whose is better*
2. Ghanaians and Nigerians love spicy food
These two nations love to sweat when they eat. It’s amazing how these two nations love to up the spicy levels in their food and they both love their pepper-soups!
3. Communication companies
These two nations share the same huge communication companies *avoids mentioning names* and mostly complain about their services almost all the time.
4. Traffic
We hate this part! The traffic situations in these two countries are a lot similar. See, we have things in common.
5. Dance moves exportation
These two great countries have given the world some fire dance moves. The Azonto and The Shoki. We wonder why dance moves are not included in these countries major exports list.
6. They are both professional hagglers
If you ever step foot in any market in any of these countries you will realize that nobody ever settles for the prices goods are labelled. Nigeria: “How much last?”
Ghana: “Chale is this the best price?”
7. The movie industry
You see, the way the movie industries of these two countries are set up, it is hard to differentiate who is who. People think a lot of Ghanaian actors are Nigerian most times.
8. Complaints about the government
You go anywhere in these two countries; a beer parlor, newspaper stand, office and they all have something to say about the government and how it is not performing optimally. We can place a bet on this.
9. Noticeable accents
Truth is wherever you go your accent sticks with you like your skin. Every Nigerian and Ghanaian has their distinct accent that is recognizable anywhere in the world.
10. Police road blocks
See, I bet we are both tired of these. Law enforcement agents setting up road blocks or checkpoints. Both countries have this all the time and we are used to “dropping something” for the men.
11. Football
Everything about this unites these two countries. Nigerians and Ghanaians love football so much even though the rivalry is next to none when both national teams play and both countries boast of football stars!
